I am so sad at the end of each fig season! Yes, I am obsessed with figs - both the taste and the scent. Because of my family's large (okay, huge) tree, they have been an emblem of late summer for as long as I can remember. This season has come to an end so I am lucky to have a few things to remind me of the precious few months figs are around....
Last fig appetizer with a friend - figs drizzled with honey with herb goat cheese and rosemary crackers....
Perfect excuse to get out my "Auntie MariAnne glasses" - named for my very stylish late great aunt. They are the fantastic robin's egg blue wine glasses seen in this picture....
Suggested Wine Pairing: Petit Syrah
The scent of figs is vine-y, rich and slightly sweet. Since I don't like overly sweet scents, this shower gel by Korres is 90% natural and addicting....
Pacifica makes a convincing (and sexy) Mediterranean Fig - all in a soy based (and lead free) candle. Pacifica Candles can be found at Whole Foods or online here....
